National Express strikes are off

Share

Strikes on National Express&rsquo; East Anglia route, which were set to last for six days, have been called off. Drivers&rsquo; union Aslef and the rail company reached a deal on pay after weeks of talks. The union will take a 3.5 per cent pay rise over two years, plus a productivity settlement which may mean members get an extra 0.5 per cent. Services between London and Essex, Cambs, Norfolk and Suffolk would have been hit if the strike went ahead.
